How exactly does it attach to the bike rack? I'm looking for a basket that I can use for my bike or scooter.

Hi,There are two "pulls" from each side of the basket (underneath) that spring out and back in (little springs...pretty strong actually).It attaches to a bike rack. The attachments are curved to fit perfectly to the tubular shape of the bike rack rails. This is the best I can do to describe it.I've had this basket for years and I have never seen a better one out there. It is made of quality materials and is pretty sturdy. When I have it full of big textbooks, I use a couple of little bungy rope to add even more security. It's great to carry books, groceries, whatever.Hope this helps. I hightly recommend it.

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

I attached it to my bicycle using the included hardware. It attached to the holes that were part of the bike frame and I think they are standard on most decently made bikes. Don't know about scooters. The install was not hard.

The answer is yes and no. It didn't come with it but after we called the company they immediately put what we needed to mount the basket on my bike in the mail which we got right away. We were told it had been a mistake and it should have been sent with the basket. Maybe this has been corrected by now.

The basket is designed for the rack that attaches to your vehicle. You will have to buy the rack system for your Jeep. This basket will then attach to that.

This rack is designed for scooters. I am sure there is a way to make it work for a bike but there really is no reason to do that. Carver makes racks for bikes to fit longboards and shortboards. We sell all three of the racks they make on Amazon. Also the bike racks are cheaper then the moped rack.

Yes it does. It seems like it would work pretty well as a basket. It quickly comes off the bike and there are two bars that lay along the basket top edge. These two bars raise up and will work nice as a handle for a basket.

We too, wish it came with a mount for a rack. It doesn't snap into the other rack mount adapters like the Planet Bike or Portland Design Works. Looks like it's zipties for now.

The carrier is large... If the bike rack is large enough to support it is the question... We had to connect a small board across our scooter rack so the carrier didn't shift and slide to the side. This solved the problem for us, and we use it quite often.

I purchased the Sunlite mesh bottom bicycle lift off basket. My son's scooter actually arrived with a basket which I was not expecting. He added the basket on that I purchased and has two baskets on his scooter.

It is quick release by design. But it's quite secure, so there is really no need for a permanent mount. If you wanted that, there are much cheaper baskets out there. As for height; mine is mounted on my beach cruiser, and I have long legs. The rack it slides onto is approx 9" below my seat, but I don't have any problems with the basket hitting my seat or anything negative like that. Hope this helps.

I had zip ties on it at first before finally fastening with the included bracket and screws and no issues with theft. It's a great useful basket, but it's still just a bike basket...not sure it's worth someone's effort to steal.

I have a Huffy cruiser bike. The basket adjusts to various sizes I'm sure any standard rack will work.

Yes the adapter comes with the basket. I believe there is another adapter for baskets that don't fit on some bikes. The one that comes with this basket fits most bikes so you should not have a problem. This is a great basket. It went on my bike easily and my little 4 pound Yorkey just loves it! The only thing I will say it is a little top-heavy and it takes a little while to get used to the extra weight in the front. It attaches very firmly though, unlike other one that I tried that was wobbly and I had to return it.

I love my basket! I used it on my bike several times this summer and it worked GREAT. I had it stuffed with a sweatshirt, water bottle and my phone and it was just fine. My basket is not flimsy at all.

It attaches to the drink holder on schwinns bikes, you can bolt the drink holder or the pump. I carry mine in my backpack. It works great!

yes, it attaches to the seat post stem, so you can still have a rack on your bike. I do on mine as well.

This basket is designed to be mounted on a rack. If you wanted to use it on your handlebars you would have make your own mount. You'd probably be better off looking for another basket, one made to mount on handlebars.

It only fits the specific Topeak rack that is suggested to buy with it. The rack has a rail that the basket slides into and then clips in at the end as well in order to make it extra stable. Actually one of my favorite features, because it not only keeps it stable, but it is also easy to take on and off as needed.
